Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: nTube at none against Xray Anatomy's 9. nTube also leads on review sentiment (60% vs 27%) and iOS requirement (8.2 vs 17). Xray Anatomy's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 20 months) and ratings volume (1.5K vs 4). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
